40 Dark and Stylish Website Designs

Whilst many websites opt for the bright and bold approach, many others favor a dark, stylish color palette. The darker web design style can lead to some really stylish results, bringing out the atmosphere/mood of the content far more than a plain white background.

As a webdesigner I mostly use light backgrounds.
Inspired by blogposts like these, I recently designed http://www.cavens.be (a wine merchant). I’m quite satisfied with the result, the dark design gives the impression of being at a wine cellar.

Black is the new Red, i totally agree!!
Website with dark fonts and designs gain attention rapidly and grab the attention of a person. Thanks for showing a variety of web designs. Thhats really impressive.

Personally I build most of my client’s sites with a white background, however viewing some of these eye catching designs has made me reconsider that approach. I particularly like the color scheme of Breezi’s Website.
